Comfort
Barriss set the empty liquor bottle down on the bar and looked up at the bartender expectantly. The bartender watched her for a moment before setting a new bottle on the table just as the bell over the door jingled. As Barriss reached for the bottle, however, a blue-skinned hand grabbed it, moving it out of her reach. Barriss looked up at the hand's owner and rolled her eyes as she saw it was Riyo Chuchi.
"Hello Riyo," Barriss said. "You're interrupting my drinking."
"No, I'm stopping it," Riyo corrected. "You've had enough, Barriss."
"No, I'm just getting started," Barriss said, reaching for the bottle again, only for Riyo to slide it further out of her reach.
"What are you going to do, Barriss?" Riyo asked. "Drink yourself to death?"
"Why not?" Barriss asked. "Everyone would probably be better off. All I've done is hurt the people I love. I tried to frame Ahsoka, I caused Damian and Ahsoka to fight and made Damian leave and cut ties for years, I got..."
Riyo sighed and Barriss reached for the bottle again, this time standing, only for Riyo to again slide the bottle away, Barriss ending up leaning against Riyo as she reached for it, giving up and resting her hand on the counter for a moment before sitting back down.
"You know that wasn't your fault," Riyo said. "Nala loved you. Do you really think she'd want you wasting away in a bar?"
"I think Nala would want to be alive!" Barriss snapped, beginning to cry. "But instead, all she got was shot in the heart!"
Riyo's eyes softened and she sighed, letting go of the bottle and wrapping her arm around Barriss's hips, taking her other hand in her own and walking Barriss out of the bar and to Riyo's private shuttle. Then, she walked back in and payed Barriss's tab before heading back to the shuttle. When she returned, she found Barriss curled into a ball in her seat, sobbing. Riyo flew back to her house, leading Barriss to the bedroom and sitting on the bed beside Barriss, wrapping her arms around her, allowing Barriss to sob into her shoulder.
"It's okay, Barriss," Riyo said, stroking her back comfortingly, her left hand resting on the back of her head. "Let it out. It's okay. I'm here. Everything's going to be okay."
"How?" Barriss demanded, sitting up. "How is everything going to be okay? Nala is DEAD! ! ! The one person I ever actually let in! The one person I ever let myself love! Do you have any idea how this feels? Why don't you try losing someone you love and then tell me that it's going to be okay!"
"I have," Riyo said. "I understand. It hurts. More than you can bear. And you'd do almost anything to make it stop. But it does get better."
"How?" Barriss asked. "How will this ever get better? It's only been getting worse! I feel so alone, all the time!"
"But you're not alone, Barriss," Riyo said. "You've never been alone. You have Damian, and Ahsoka, and Jek, and Shaeeah, and me. We're all here for you. We'll always be here for you. You never have to feel alone. If you need someone, all you have to do is ask. All you have to do is reach out, and I'll be there for you."
Barriss began to sob again and Riyo pulled her into a hug, gently running her hand up and down her back again.
"What do I do?" Barriss asked. "It hurts so badly. I don't know what to do. If this is all love is, then why do we bother feeling it?"
"Because love isn't just this," Riyo said. "Love is so much more. I know it hurts now, but I swear to you, it'll get better."
Barriss nodded slightly, Riyo squeezing her gently and tucking her face into Barriss's hair.
"I just wanted to be able to forget," Barriss said. "Just for a little while."
Riyo raised her head, staring down at Barriss for a moment before gently pushing her up. Barriss looked up at her, confused, and Riyo leaned forward, kissing her gently. Barriss gasped, pulling away almost instantly.
"What are you doing?" Barriss asked.
"Helping you forget," Riyo said. "If you'll let me."
Barriss hesitated before nodding. Riyo nodded as well and kissed her again, Barriss kissing her back hesitantly this time. After a few seconds, Riyo pulled Barriss into her lap and broke the kiss.
"If you need to, close your eyes and pretend I'm her," Riyo whispered before kissing Barriss again.
Barriss kissed her back, slightly more willingly this time, and growing more active the longer they kissed. Finally, Barriss's hands fell to Riyo's ass, massaging it roughly, Riyo moaning quietly as she did, her own hands beginning to knead Barriss's ass. After several moments, Barriss moved her hands to Riyo's breasts, Riyo moaning louder, then wincing as Barriss squeezed a little too hard. She could feel Barriss's desperation, and turned them over, pinning Barriss to the bed before quickly pulling Barriss's clothes off, her own following before she felt Barriss grab her breasts roughly. She bent down, beginning to kiss and lick Barriss's breasts, worshiping every inch of exposed skin before focusing on Barriss's nipples. Barriss moaned, then whined in need and gripped Riyo by the hair, pushing her down lower. Riyo winced and complied, skipping down to begin trailing her tongue quickly through Barriss's slit. Barriss gasped and moaned, rolling her hips, her hand tightening its grip. Riyo winced again, glancing up at Barriss just as Barriss opened her eyes, seeming to realize for the first time that she was hurting Riyo and quickly letting go.
"I'm sorry," Barriss said, tears springing to her eyes. "I just-"
Riyo cut her off with a kiss. "I know. It's alright."
She kissed Barriss again, Barriss again sliding her hands up to Riyo's breasts. This time, however, Riyo noticed that she was calmer, more gentle. She smiled, trailing her fingers up the inside of Barriss's left thigh before reaching Barriss's core, Barriss moaning as Riyo's fingers began to skillfully work her folds. Barriss's hips began to rock in time with Riyo's hand and Riyo smiled, pushing two fingers into Barriss, her thumb beginning to run quick, light circles over Barriss's clit. Barriss moaned loudly, rolling her hips quickly against Riyo's hand, Riyo's free hand massaging Barriss's breasts for several moments before she licked her fingers, lubricating them then pulling away from Barriss, pushing two fingers into Barriss's ass. Barriss cried out in pleasure as Riyo finger fucked both holes for several minutes before pulling them back out and laying on her back. Barriss glanced at her and Riyo gently tugged at Barriss's opposite leg. Barriss flipped over, laying on top of Riyo and Riyo continued where she left off, using her tongue to pleasure Barriss's clit this time, Barriss crying out in pleasure again. After a moment, she pushed two of her fingers into Riyo's tunnel as well, quickly thrusting them in and out, gently sucking Riyo's clit into her mouth as her free hand quickly lubricated itself with Riyo's juices and pushed two fingers into Riyo's ass.
This time, it was Riyo's turn to cry out in pleasure before locking her own lips around Barriss's clit, gently catching it with her teeth and lightly tugging and rolling it while dragging her tongue over it rapidly. Barriss gasped harshly as she did, rolling her hips quickly, her insides beginning to quiver around Riyo's fingers. Riyo began to speed up, pushing a third finger into Barriss's pussy and making Barriss scream in pleasure, unable to even continue pleasuring Riyo. Riyo could tell she was right on the edge, barely clinging to sanity as she teetered on the brink.
"Cum for me Barriss," Riyo said. "Cum for me."
Barriss cried out one final time, louder than before, as Riyo reattached her lips to Barriss's clit. As soon as she did, Barriss's insides clamped around Riyo's fingers. Her juices began to spray out of her entrance and Riyo angled her fingers so that it squirted directly into Riyo's waiting mouth, mostly, while her left hand, which had left Barriss's ass, quickly ran her fingers over Barriss's clit, keeping her from coming down from her orgasm yet. Finally, she began to slow her ministrations, allowing Barriss to ease down from her extended time on cloud nine. Finally, she pulled her fingers out of Barriss, licking them clean and licking her lips, unable to get the juices that had drenched the rest of the lower half of her face. She placed a few light kisses on Barriss's inner thighs while she waited for Barriss to recover. Suddenly, she felt Barriss's tongue return to her clit and moaned, hips rolling against Barriss's tongue for a moment before she slipped out from under Barriss.
Barriss looked up at her in confusion and Riyo smiled, rolling Barriss onto her back before laying on top of her, kissing her. Barriss moaned as she tasted herself and her tongue began to search Riyo's mouth, trying to find as much of her own taste as she could. Finally, Riyo smiled, pulling back and sitting up, slipping one of her legs under one of Barriss's before pressing her clit against Barriss's own directly, beginning to roll her hips. She moaned at the contact, Barriss's own moan joining hers. They both began to speed up quickly, Barriss soon pushing herself up onto her elbows as Riyo dropped back onto her own. They continued to speed up, losing contact a couple of times, only to almost instantly reconnect, grinding their slits together as quickly as they could. Within a few minutes, Riyo felt the pressure inside of her, and the burning need for release, threatening to consume her. She fought it back, however, glancing at Barriss and seeing the pleasure on her face as she ground against her. Riyo winced as her pussy began to ache, quickly nearing unbearable the longer she held back.
Barriss glanced at her, moaning loudly and resting a hand on Riyo's leg, grinding herself against Riyo harder and faster, Riyo struggling not to slip, crying out in pleasure as she began to slip. Then, just as she felt herself snap, Barriss's hips suddenly jerked and Barriss cried out, her juices once again spraying out of her, this time accompanied by Riyo's own.
"Oh my god!" Barriss cried out as they both continued to grind against each other. "Riyo! Oh God, yes! Riyo!"
"Barriss!" Riyo gasped, unable to get out any other words before she cried out in pleasure yet again, a second orgasm slamming into her out of nowhere.
Finally, they both collapsed, sweaty and panting and both sticky with each other's juices. Riyo struggled to move but found her legs didn't want to respond. After a moment, Barriss lifted her with the Force, floating her up to the pillow beside Barriss and setting her down so her head was on Barriss's shoulder. Barriss wrapped her arms around her, tears beginning to leak out of her eyes again, despite her smile.
"Thank you," Barriss smiled.
"Any time," Riyo smiled. "Really. If you ever need anything, even just a shoulder to cry on, or a lift home from the bar, let me know. I'll be there. I promise."
Barriss smiled, kissing her chastely for several seconds before pulling away. "I will."
Riyo nodded and kissed Barriss again before laying her head back on Barriss's shoulder. Barriss smiled, closing her eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep, Riyo following.
